On August 1, 2007, OfficeMax Incorporated (the “Company”) issued an Earnings Release announcing its earnings for the second quarter of 2007.  The earnings release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Election of Director

On July 26, 2007, William J. Montgoris was elected to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Montgoris was appointed to the Company’s Executive Compensation Committee and its Audit Committee.   Additional information about Mr. Montgoris is included in the OfficeMax News Release issued on July 26, 2007 that is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.

Annual Equity Grant to Directors

Through the OfficeMax Incentive and Performance Plan (the “Plan”) each non-employee director annually receives a form of long-term equity compensation.  On July 26, 2007, the Executive Compensation Committee of the board of directors determined that the form of equity grant to be received by the directors in 2007 is restricted stock units.  In connection with the grant, each director will enter into a 2007 Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement dated July 26, 2007 (an “Agreement”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.

The Agreement states that the award is subject to the terms of the Plan. The Agreement further states that the award will vest six months following the date of grant and that it will be payable in shares of Company common stock six months following the date of a director’s termination of service from the board due to retirement or resignation (or immediately upon termination of service due to death or disability). Unless otherwise approved by the board, if a director leaves the board before the award vests, other than as a result of death or disability, the award will be forfeited.  The award is not transferable.  Holders of units have no voting rights but do receive notional dividends, which are accumulated and paid in cash at the time the award is paid.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the form of Agreement, included as Exhibit 99.3 to this filing.  Exhibit 99.3 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Policy, included as Exhibit 99.4 to this filing.  Exhibit 99.4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

OFFICEMAX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS

NAPERVILLE, Ill., August 1, 2007 – OfficeMaxÒ Incorporated (NYSE: OMX) today reported net income of $27.4 million, or $.35 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared with net income of $27.4 million, or $.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006.

Net income and diluted earnings per share increased approximately 20% in the second quarter of 2007 from net income of $23.0 million, or $.29 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2006, excluding special items.  A detailed description of prior quarter special items, and a reconciliation to the company’s GAAP financial results, are included in this press release.

“Our results for the second quarter showed progress in many areas, but aspects of our businesses remain opportunities for improvement,” said Sam Duncan, Chairman and CEO of OfficeMax.  “In our Contract segment, operating margin contracted from lower-margin sales in spite of the benefit of some expense leverage.  In our Retail segment, positive same store sales, expanded gross margins and cost containment delivered operating income margin improvement.”

1




Contract Segment

OfficeMax Contract segment sales increased 4.4% to $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006, reflecting U.S. Contract sales growth of 2.2% and international contract operations sales growth of 11.1% in U.S. dollars, or 2.9% in local currencies.

Contract segment operating income decreased to $41.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $44.4 million in the second quarter last year.  Contract segment gross margin decreased to 21.4% in the second quarter of 2007 from 22.1% in the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to the continued impact of new and renewing accounts with lower gross margin rates, the impact of higher paper prices, partially offset by improved vendor funding.  Contract segment operating income margin in the second quarter of 2007 benefited from expense leverage in International Contract operations and targeted cost controls.

Retail Segment

OfficeMax Retail segment sales increased 4.6% to $935.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006.  Retail segment same-store sales increased 1.6% in the second quarter of 2007.  Adjusted for the company’s initiative to eliminate mail-in rebates and to provide instant rebates in lieu of national, vendor-sponsored mail-in rebates, same-store sales increased by 2.7% during the second quarter of 2007.

Retail segment operating income increased to $24.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $18.2 million, excluding special items, in the second quarter of 2006.  Retail segment gross margin increased to 29.9% in the second quarter of 2007 from 29.7% in the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to improved vendor funding and more effective promotional strategies.

2




Retail segment operating income margin in the second quarter of 2007 benefited from lower occupancy costs and reduced advertising expense, partially offset by increased allocated general and administrative expenses.

During the second quarter of 2007, OfficeMax opened 9 new retail stores and closed 1 store, ending the quarter with 923 retail stores in the U.S. and Mexico compared with 874 stores at the end of the second quarter of 2006.

Corporate and Other Segment

The OfficeMax Corporate and Other segment includes support staff services and certain other expenses that are not fully allocated to the Retail and Contract segments.  Corporate and Other segment operating expense decreased to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $14.1 million, excluding special items, in the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to reduced legacy-related costs.

OfficeMax generated $120.9 million of cash from operations in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $41.9 million from the second quarter of 2006.  OfficeMax invested $31.3 million for capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $23.7 million in the second quarter of 2006.  As of June 30, 2007, OfficeMax reported total debt of $391.5 million excluding the timber securitization notes, and cash and cash equivalents of $220.6 million.

(1)  Financial Information

The quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements included in this release are unaudited, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In all periods presented, the measurement of net income (loss) involved estimates and judgments.

(2)    Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures

We evaluate our results of operations both before and after special gains and losses.  We believe our presentation of financial measures before special items, which are non-GAAP measures, enhances our investors’ overall understanding of our recurring operational performance.  Specifically, we believe presenting results before special items provides useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains, losses and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating activities.  In the preceding tables, we reconcile our financial measures before special items to our reported GAAP financial results for the second quarter and first six months of both 2007 and 2006.

(3)  2006 Special Items

First Quarter 2006

During the first quarter of 2006, we closed 109 underperforming domestic retail stores and recorded a charge of $98.6 million in our Retail segment primarily for remaining lease obligations and we incurred $15.7 million of expenses in our Corporate and Other segment related to our headquarters consolidation primarily for employee severance and retention.

Second Quarter 2006

During the second quarter of 2006, we recorded a $9.0 million pre-tax benefit in our Retail segment from an adjustment to the reserve for closed retail stores, and we incurred $10.9

12




million of expenses in our Corporate and Other segment related to our headquarters consolidation, primarily for employee severance and retention.   Also during the second quarter of 2006, we recognized a $9.2 million credit from an adjustment to the reserve for the additional consideration agreement that was entered into in connection with the October 2004 sale of our paper, forest products and timberland assets. This adjustment is included in Other, income (expense) net.

(4)  2007 Special Items

First Quarter 2007

During the first quar ter of 2007, we sold OfficeMax Contract’s operations in Mexico to OfficeMax de Mexico, our 51% owned joint venture, resulting in a net loss of $1.1 million which is included in minority interest, net of income tax in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for 2007.

(5)  Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2006, we ceased operations at the Company’s wood-polymer building materials facility near Elma, Washington. The costs and expenses related to this business are reflected as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for 2006 and are included as special items in our Segment Information tables.

This Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”), is granted on July 26, 2007 (the “Award Date”), by OfficeMax Incorporated (“OfficeMax”) to                                                   (“Director” or “you”) pursuant to the 2003 OfficeMax Incentive and Performance Plan (the “Plan”) and pursuant to the following terms:

1.                                       The Award is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan.  All capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning stated in the Plan.

2.                                       You are awarded ___________ restricted stock units, at no cost to you, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

3.                                       Your Award is subject to a six-month restriction period.  The units will vest six months following the date of grant, on January 26, 2008, if you are then still an OfficeMax Director.  Vested units will be payable six months following the date of your termination of service as a director due to your retirement or resignation from the Board (or immediately upon a termination of service due to death or disability).

4.                                       Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, if you terminate service as a director prior to January 26, 2008 for a reason other than death or disability, your Award will be forfeited.

5.                                       In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the end of the restriction period pursuant to paragraph 3, the continuing entity may either continue this Award or replace this Award with an award of at least equal value with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Award Agreement, in which case the Award will vest and become payable according to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement.  If the continuing entity does not so continue or replace this Award, the restriction period will lapse with respect to all units not vested at the time of the Change in Control or your termination, and all units will be payable according to paragraph 3 above.  In the event of a Change in Control, payment of the Award will be made in the common stock of the continuing entity when due according to this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.4

Restatement Clawback Policy

If the Board learns of any misconduct by an Executive Officer that contributed to the Company having to prepare a restatement of previously issued financial statements due to the material noncompliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws or regulations, it shall take such action as it deems necessary to remedy the misconduct, prevent its recurrence and, if appropriate, based on all relevant facts and circumstances, punish the wrongdoer in a manner it deems appropriate.  In determining what remedies to pursue, the Board shall take into account all relevant factors, including whether the restatement was the result of negligent, intentional or gross misconduct.  The Board will, to the extent permitted by governing law, and as it determines appropriate, require reimbursement of any bonus or incentive compensation awarded to an Executive Officer after July 26, 2007, effect the cancellation of any stock awards granted to the Executive Officer after July 26, 2007, and/or require the payment of stock proceeds if:  a) the amount of the bonus or incentive compensation was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, b) the Executive Officer engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement, and c) the amount of the bonus or incentive compensation that would have been awarded to the Executive Officer had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually awarded.  In addition, the Board may dismiss the Executive Officer, authorize legal action for breach of fiduciary duty or take such other action to enforce the Executive Officer’s obligations to OfficeMax as may fit the facts surrounding the particular case.  The Board may, in determining the appropriate punishment, take into account penalties or punishments imposed by third parties, such as law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities.  The Board’s power to determine the appropriate punishment for the wrongdoer is in addition to, and not in replacement of, any remedies which may be imposed by such entities.

 For the purposes of this policy, “Executive Officer” means any officer who has been designated an executive officer by the Board.
